It's been probably 6/7 years since I'd been there and the improvements are noticeable. The clubhouse is completely different, and absolutely stunning. They were very selective and removed trees around it giving it a beautiful view out onto the course. The interior is modern and offers a nice/modern atmosphere so you can at least understand where the increased prices have gone. The course was in impressive condition, and I'd put up against any course around. It is, extremely challenging, but with the challenge comes an absolutely unique experience that you may never forget. We didn't try much food, but, we did of course get cheese curds. They were awesome. I was disappointed to see they went away from their previous cheese curds, which, were my favorite of every where I've ever been, but they were still delicious. Often times when I find myself in beautiful places it's hard to comprehend how we can trade morning rays of sunshine through oaks and pines for glass windows and concrete. All of which I find myself asking every time I play here. The work the current owners have done has made that even more so the case. It's beautiful, from the first hole to the last and worth a shot if you're willing to lose some balls and some bucks.

Most likely drinks very often.. just don't go. I know the price is tempting and the course looks.. okay at best. It's not worth it, save your money and don't give them your hard earned money.

This was a nice course for the price. We used our MN PGA card and got a two-for-one price…read more The staff was very welcoming. The starter let us go off early since we were ready and the foursome before us wasn't there yet. Appreciated that. We played in just over 4 hours. The forward tees are short coming in at less than 4800 yards. Tee boxes were a bit ragged. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Sand was not fluffy and more like light dirt. Not a lot of water on the course. Lots of trees and fairly narrow fairways. There were a couple of holes that were kind of goofy, and S-shaped hole, one with a tiny pond right next to the green that should have probably been a trap instead, and one that was using a temp green which severely shortened what should have been a par 5. Overall, it was a good course for the price.

I love the layout of it and the gorgeous ceremony site is what drew me in! I started to work with Meredith and she was really great with communication. Then Annie took over for venue coordination when Meredith went on maternity leave and she was amazing as well! Very responsive to her emails especially as we got to closer to the wedding and answering all of my questions. The day of wedding staff was amazing! They took care of everything and the day ran so smoothly. They even put a water station out by my ceremony site due to the hot weather which I didn't even have to ask. At dinner they were very quick with getting the food out and omg the food was amazing! We got so many compliments with the food! Overall, recommend getting married here!

I called Saturday afternoon to request to push the tee time back for the next day and he absolutely tore me a new one saying I was 6 hours late for my tee time and he wasn't able to book 2 golfers earlier that morning. mind you, it was raining that morning so I have a very hard time believing he had to turn away 2 people for a 7:45 tee time in mid Sept. I apologized multiple times and he would not accept any of them. I used to golf here all the time & throughly enjoyed it, but Ken has deterred us from ever golfing here again. Shouldn't be an issue anyways, my online account is now locked from making any tee times because of a simple mixup.
